Your points are well taken and conceded.

Wait until they start locking us up. From link below: “This weekend, the University of West England is hosting a major conference on climate change denial. Strikingly, it’s being organised by the university’s Centre for Psycho-Social Studies. It will be a gathering of those from the top of society – ‘psychotherapists, social researchers, climate change activists, eco-psychologists’ – who will analyse those at the bottom of society, as if we were so many flitting, irrational amoeba under an eco-microscope. The organisers say the conference will explore how ‘denial’ is a product of both ‘addiction and consumption’ and is the ‘consequence of living in a perverse culture which encourages collusion, complacency and irresponsibility’ (1). It is a testament to the dumbed-down, debate-phobic nature of the modern academy that a conference is being held not to explore ideas – to interrogate, analyse and fight over them – but to tag them as perverse.” deathby1000papercuts.com/2009/03/global-warming-skeptics-under-attack-labeled-as-having-mental-disorder/Coincidentally I watched "The Changeling" last weekend. It's all been done before, in many places and many times. Here's a link to the original article: wattsupwiththat.com/2009/03/06/what-will-they-think-of-next-conference-labels-skeptics-as-having-mental-disorder/#more-6057 |

Or better yet let's institute forced sterilization. Now where has that been tried before? It escapes me for the moment, but I think it was called “ Lebensunwertes leben,” life unworthy of life, or “ Dasein ohne leben,” life without existence. |

The reality is that Obama will try to implement an estimated 2 trillion dollar carbon tax and we will all be dancing to Hansen's tune. It is a wonder that no one seems to really be bothered yet.

Looks like Jimmy is tweaking the nasa model. Look for a super El Nino forecast from him. iri.columbia.edu/climate/ENSO/currentinfo/SST_table.html No El Nino has been that warm during a cold PDO phase. Only two months in 1972 were 2 and 2.1 during the whole of the last cold phase. I hear that some at NASA are getting a little nervous about this guy. I suspect that Jane will side with him however. |

That over-the-top forecast moved the average of all models to the positive side. |

That over-the-top forecast moved the average of all models to the positive side. The two models with the highest El Nino figures both also predicted positive anomalies for NDJ and DJF also and were the only two models on the wrong side of the line since at least last October. Perhaps there should be some standards for funding sort of like the "survivor series" where each quarter the one with the worst predictive rate over the previous 2 years gets axed and a new competitor gets funded. LOL! Maybe then scientists will be motivated to go back to observing whats really happening and operate to kill off the Lysenko syndrome. |

I took a look at that link about a week ago, from what I figured the best models for the past 22 months were the Japan Met one and some other one I can't remember. Basically two of them seemed to predict the upturns and downturns at the right time while the others failed miserably. Could have been luck though.

Last week that nasa model was around 1.5.
